EGKG'VBEATER AND onEAMwHrr.-

Application led September 30. 1921.A Serial No. 504,523.

To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, LENA Sanna, a citizen of the United States, residingat Hamilton, in the county of Butler and State of Ohio, have inventednew and useful Improvements in Beaters and Cream Whips, of which thefollowing is a specification.

rllhis invention relates to culinary imple ments, particularly todevicesfor'beating eggs and whipping cream and the like, and has for its objectthe provision of a novel device for this purpose which includes aspecially made receptacle within which operates a specially constructedbeater Felement, efficient operating means being provided for impartingrotary movementto the beater element.

An important and morespeciiic object is the provision of a device ofthis character in which the beater member is readily sepa-v rable fromand removablevwith respect t'o the receptacle so that theparts may becleaned and so that the material to be beaten may be easily disposedwithin the device.

Another obj ect is the provision of a device of this character in whichthe receptacle is provided with a slotted lid into the slot of which maybe moved the beater member so as to disengage the latter from itsordinary support. Y

An additional object` is the provision of a device of this characterwhich will be simple and inexpensive in manufacture, highly eiiicient inuse, rapid in operation, durable in service and a general improvement inthe art.

With the above and other objects and advantages in view, the inventionconsists in the details of construction to be hereinafter more fullydescribed and claimed, and` illustrated in the accompanying drawings inwhich,`

Figure 1 is a side elevation of my device, Figure 2 is a verticallongitudinal sec-V tional view therethrough,

Figure 3 is a plan view. Y y

Figure 4 is a view, taken at right angles to Figure 1. Y

Figure 5 is a detail plan view of the supporting bearing bracketsshowing the same in closed position and Figure 6 is a similar viewshowing it in open position.

Referring more particularly to the drawings I have shown my device ascomprising a'cylindrieal receptacle 10, formed of any suitable materialsuch as sheet metal, and provided at one side with a'handle 11. Dis-yposed interiorly of this receptacle'lO is ay false `bottom 12 which isof substantially semi-spherical form and which is formed at one side ofits 'center with a depression 13 constituting a bearing.l Disposableupon the top of this receptacle 10 is a suitable cap or cover 14 havingflangesl adapted to fit within the top of the receptacle 10 and formedwith a slot 16 for a purpose to be described. This cover may be formedwith any suitable handle 17 whereby it may be placed upon or removedfrom the receptacle conveniently. J 'i Detachably secured uponA the sideof the receptacle 10 through the instrumentality yof the sleeve 18 whichis disposed diametrically opposite the handle 11 is a metal strip 18Vextending upwardly along the side of the' receptacle. insomewhat fspaced relation thereto and having its upper end angularlv 'Ior inclinedas indicated at 1.9 and formed with in egg beaters of ordinary type. Theupper enl portion of this spindle 22 is adapted to be disposed withinthe slot 16 of the cover vand also within the slot 20l of the angularend n of the bracket member. 18. The upper eX- tremity of the spindle 22carries a pinion 24 which is adapted to mesh with a gear 25 rotatablymounted upon -therupper portion of the bracket 18 and provided with asuitable knob or handle 26.

The operation of the device isY as follows zv The operator engages thelower end ofthe shaft lor spindle 22 within the depression 13 in thefalse bottom 12 of the receptacle and then pours into the receptacle theeggs or othermaterial to be beaten. Itis of course conceivable that ifpreferred the materia-1 might be poured into the receptacle first andthen the beater member may be inserted afterward, though it will beapparent that the first mentioned method is preferable. After thematerial has been placed within the receptacle, the cover 14C isengagedthereon and pressed down into place so as to close the top of thereceptacle, it being noted that the slot 16 in the cover prof videsaccommodations for the spindle 22. The beater member is then movedlaterally, that is along the slot 16 of the cover, until its upperportion can be engaged Within the slot 2O in the angular end 19 of thebearing bracket 18 whereupon the pinion 24 at the upper end of thespindle will be in mesh with the gear journaled on the bracket member18. The operator then moves the spring 21 to extend across the slot 20so that the beater member Will be incapable of lateral movement but Willbe fully capable of rotation. lVhen the operator grasps the knob orhandle and rotates the relatively large gear it will be quite apparentthat the intermeshing of this large gear with the pinion 24 will causethe beater member to be rotated rapidlyso that the beate-r arms A23thereof Will effectively churn up or beat the eggs or other materialWithin the receptacle.

From Ythe foregoing description and a study of the drawing it will beapparent that I have thus provided a simply constructed and consequentlyinexpensive device Which is very easy to operate, .which is easy to keepclean, which will be highly et'ricient in use and which will perform allthe functions for which it is intended.

lVhilefI have shown and described the perferred'embodiment of myinvention it is of course to be understood that Ivreserve the right tomake such changes in the form, construction and arrangement or" parts asWill not depart from the spirit of the invention or the scope of thesubjoined claim.

Having thus described my invention I claim; l

A device of the character described comprising a cylinderical receptaclehaving a handle, a cover for the receptacle and said cover`beingprovided with a slot extending inwardly from the side edgethereof, a false semi-circular bottom arranged above the lower edge ofthe receptacle and v.having formed therein a depression disposedadjacent one side thereof, a bracket detachably secured to thereceptacle diametrically opposite the handle and having its upper endangularly disposed toward the receptacle, said angle end being providedwith a slot adapted to register with the slot ink the cover, a spindlearranged at an inclination and finding bearings in the respective slotsand the depression respectively, beater arms carried by the inclined endof the spindle, means for `locking the spindle for operative position inthe slot of theangle bent end and means carried by the bracket forrotating the spindle.

In: testimony whereof 'I .aiiix my signature.
